Of course that's also true. What I think happens sometimes tho is that people will wring an upset out of a post that is merely brief.... that a lot of human beans tend not to say "this hurts me" but say instead "YOU failed MY manners standard". I'm not a mind-reader, and I certainly don't mean to give offense in brevity.

BUT I also think the expectations new people bring here often are part of the instant-internet-gratification stuff rampant in the culture today.
